I went to the GP to ask if there were other solutions than to sit on the gender-bureaucrat waiting list for 3+ years (answer: nope; but honestly, didn't really expect it either - was worth a shot though)

He asked me some questions about my gender, fair enough, but then he also asked about my sexual preferences which I found a bit odd. I told him I didn't really see the relevance of whether I'm into women or men, when it comes to what gender I feel I am? Or am I missing something here? He said "he just tried to get the whole picture".

Made me feel a bit weird. I bet it's not malice, but just him being awkward with the subject? He didn't feel too judgy, tho he also felt far from comfortable.

@bazkie did he also ask about your favorite food? Your sports habits? You know, for the whole picture?

@StroomAfwaarts he did not 🤔 but yeah it's odd right? You'd think an experienced GP has seen enough people with gender issues to understand this kind of thing a bit better.. I still think he was just being awkward but it does irk me a bit.
